DAY SIXTEEN

Key Theme: FAITH

CLOTHES: STYLE AND COMFORT

You might be thinking, what do clothes have to do with faith? Good question. I used to wear tight, uncomfortable clothes, especially pants, when I was dieting. I was using the tight clothes to remind myself just how fat I was getting. This would, I imagined, curtail my eating. And I was also punishing my body for its willful appetite. Somehow, I thought, if I was in pain I would work harder to avoid eating. So much for the psychological aspects of obesity. The faith part comes in when you understand why you are still overweight and, further, what you must do to change that. You realize that discomfort will only work against you. You see that your body is not to blame and that punishing it will only backfire. So you find the most attractive and comfortable outfits you can and you wear them in good faith.

“In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments— there are consequences.” Robert G. Ingersoll
